This is my blog. I would hope to inspire and uplift others, but I am sure that is a little wishful thinking. I will settle for a smile and maybe a chuckle every once in a while.

Sorry No Pictures....

Sorry, I am horriable at taking pictures, and worse at posting them. But for my next story I am sure you do not want pictures.

So to start off I have had a nagging side ache since thursday of last week. Always on my right side and nothing serious, just felt like a sore muscle. I had gone to the gym 4 times last week so it was possible I did hurt it. So now fast forward to Tuesday. First we wake up, and yes this story does have to include the entire day so you can feel even more sorry for me :) Mason wakes up and says "mommy blood" so I am like huh???? I look at him and he is indeed covered in blood. He had a bloody nose in his sleep and rolled around in it. He had it EVERYWHERE. The funny part was it didn't even bother him. He just wanted to be cleaned off. So I got that fixed. Rainee got stung by a bee on Sunday and she came to me Tuesday morning and said her arm hurt, so I looked at it and where she got stung, on her bicep, was huge, swollen, hot and tight and red. So I called my mom who took her to the doc to find out she has an infection from the dirty stinger of that dumb bee. Colton had a sore throat BUT it was his first Scout Camp, so I doped him up with Tylenol and let him go. It was just a day camp and he had no fever. So with 3 out of my 4 children having "issues" that morning I got off to work a little bit late.

So I worked a boring day. I went and picked everyone up to go to swim lessons at 4:30. The big kids had lessons while Mason and I swam in the pool togehter. It was great, he was sweet and loving and loves the water. No big deal, nice afternoon. The kids got done with lessons and wanted to stay and swim, but something told me no, we should go straight home. The kids were bummed, but I was stern, I didn't have to be "warned" twice. So we packed up and went straight home. So as I was pulling in home I also just "decided" that I needed a shower right away. I also need to interject right here Scott was on a wrecker call in Tremonton, so it was just me and the kids. For another odd reason I was almost frantic to take a shower. That is odd because being the mom i usually wait to shower/bath until the kids are all taken care. So this time I told Bowen to watch Mason while I jumped in the shower. Not only had I just turned the water on in the shower, it was still cold, when I had the worst pain in my lower right back. I felt like i had been stabbed, or was having labor pains. It floored me, literally. I have a bench in my shower (we have a large shower) and i tried to sit on it and could not, the pain was coming in waves with only a very short time to breath inbetween. I knew Bowen was righit outside my door, so I was trying to be quiet, but I was moaning and kind of yelling and the pain came over and over. FInally after about 10 minutes I was able to crawl, not walk, out of the shower and into my room and into bed, soaking wet. Bowen was knocking on my door going "mom, are you ok?" It was cute casue he didn't want to come in cause he knew I was in the shower, but he could tell something was wrong. SO I covered up and asked him to bring me my phone. I called Scott who came home and decided to take me to the hospital. To make this long story shorter, we went to the hospital to find out I had kidney stones and they had moved from my kidney to my bladder and that was the pain I had. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I have never had any kind of pain like that every before. Not even having a child. So now they prepare me to pass them again out of my bladder. They doctor gave me pain pills and I was like what good will they do, it only lasted for 15 minutes and then I was ok, and he politely told me it may not be that short next time, it could last for hours, so the medicine is for in case. So now everytime I feel a twinge I kind of tighten up and stop and wait for the horriable gut wrenching pain to come, only to be disapointed when it does not. I would prefer it to get over with, so I am drinking a large amount of water to help nature along.

So that was my tuesday. Needless to say it sucked, but oh well. I felt fine today, kind of tired and now I have blood in my urine. Just what you wanted to hear huh?

OOOOOh!I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through. I know that stones can be VERY painful.Jordan's wife had them on her mission in Brazil and was really sick. Take care of yourself and DON'T DRIVE on the pain pills if possible. Love you!
